Putty clementine zest

Adieu, a dieu the endless cry.
Mortality is the best flavour
To sharpen living. We shout at the sky –
Adieu, a dieu the endless cry.
But what do we give to a god when we die?
Putty clementine zest for them to savour,
Hope our souls stick with it as others cry –
Mortality, don’t do us that favour.
